Water levels on Lakes Michigan, Huron, Superior and St. Clair are expected to remain above last year's levels through the boating season, following a spring marked by heavy snowmelt and unusually wet conditions across northern Michigan. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers stated that Lakes Michigan and Huron rose 10 inches from March to April, reaching 578.58 feet above sea level, 3 inches above the same time last year. The increase follows a massive March blizzard that hit the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan, where snowfall exceeded 4 feet. From May through October, levels in Lake Huron and Michigan are forecast to remain 6 to 10 inches above 2025 levels. However, Lake Erie is projected to remain slightly below last year’s levels throughout the summer.
